Progressive media personality Cenk Uygur told The Hill on Wednesday that he is ending his long-shot Democratic presidential bid. The Young Turks” host, who was born in Turkey and is therefore not eligible to become president due to the Constitution’s “Natural Born Citizen” Clause, had attempted to launch a legal battle to gain ballot access across the country.
“Look, we needed a couple of miracles,” Uygur said in a “The Young Turks” interview later Wednesday. “This was an act of desperation to try to change the course of this campaign because Biden I was positive was going to lose.”
Uygur acknowledged that his legal battle found little success, but he said the stage is set for future naturalized citizens who choose to challenge the presidential requirement. “I got caught trying,” he said.

In his pants?
Just so much Istanbul
He’s from Turkey and can’t be President anyhow. There were questions about Obama and Cruz being natural born but there’s no question with Cenk.
Chunk Yogurt is out? Just damn.
Election Night 2016 with Cenk’s meltdown was some of the greatest TV ever.
“legal battle”
What, he couldn’t get a Constitutional Amendment passed in time? What a piker.
Of course, being an insane prog, he knows nothing about the Constitution, why it was written, its purpose or how it has maintained American stability for 200 years. But his ilk is destroying that legacy.
What an idiot and an ego. As if racist Dems would ever nominate a swarthy Turk anyway.
Is there a clip of that on YouTube? I guess it would have been worth it for that alone.
I assume that was a pun right?
Well, shoot!

The Young Turks was the political faction that perpetrated the Armenian genocide, so he won’t get many votes in Glendale, Calif.
Cenk, your voter is so disappointed.
Haiti is looking for a new Prime Minister.
He should volunteer for the job.
There's no question with Obama either...or at least there wasn't until he decided to run for President. UP to that point everyone thought he was born in Kenya and his own promo materials touted it.
Who?
He was born to an American citizen. I hear all sorts of different things about natural born. For instance McCain was born in Panama to American citizens. Cruz was also Canadian.
Would it have made a difference where Obama was born since his mother was American anyhow? IDK.
But Cenk is absolutely not eligible.
